It’s worth noting, though, that Salatov’s LinkedIn profile doesn’t seem to be updated yet and the company doesn’t have any other social media channels, confirming the announcement.
A Bridge Between Individuals and the Financial World
According to the project’s whitepaper, FOIN’s main purpose is to somehow bridge individuals and financial service providers by creating an ecosystem to foster such a relationship.
The project entails the creation of a blockchain network based on the PoS consensus mechanism, which is supposedly going to generate profits for the token holders.
The whitepaper also denies the claim that the project will feature integration of artificial intelligence (AI) which will deliberate a few core modules, including fraud prevention, risk analysis, and portfolio recommendations.
Purportedly, FOIN coin holders can use their cryptocurrency in order to invest in different financial service providers which are registered beforehand. Additionally, the paper claims that coin owners will be screened by the AI risk-assessment module, which will afterward make the necessary recommendations.
